There once was a fic. A massive, intense, beautiful fic that starts out at the bottom of a pit in Sunnydale (sorta) and climbs to dizzying heights. Written by two of my most favorite Buffy-verse authors. Every line is love. And since I first discovered it I've read it, and re-read it, and honestly if the computer screen or the links had the ability to wear away they would have with the number of times I've returned to take in a chapter or two, or go through the whole long ride one more time. So you'll understand that I couldn't just make one graphic for this fic. I couldn't even just make two. Instead, like the fic itself that has 25 "squares", I've made a graphic for each chapter. Each is a little visual ditty that hopefully will evoke a little something for each of you that have read it (or if you haven't, please, go read it).
So, I'd like to (re)introduce to you to:
This is one of my all time favorite fics, as well. Tab knows that thsi is always on my Palm, ready to be read at any time.
Thanks for sharing your vision.
I'm sure they'll be thrilled with your hard work.
Great boards, they look wonderful. Such a nice job.
And thank you, so much. It was definitely a labor of love.
*breathes*
Okay. I'm seriously at a loss for words. I'm *crying*. This is the most gorgeous, amazing thing I have ever, ever seen. The *douse*, oh my god. The bits of story in images, the bits of *story*, that sum up so perfectly...
This is just...so amazing, so beautiful, so full of love and hard work and just....
My gods. Thank you, thank you, thank you, so very much. And these pictures *link*, and they're *gorgeous*....
I'm babbling but i just....

It's overwhelming.
*hugs you*

That taken care of, you are very very very *very* welcome - I'm utterly and totally thrilled that you like!! Since I didn't get the chance to read NMS&L while you two were writing it (and give adoring feedback then) I hope this kind of shows you how much it's rocked my socks.
yay. *is beaming back* so so glad. :D
*looks it over again*
Thank you lady - i'm grinning ear to ear. It is such a great story, and getting feedback like yours makes me believe that I almost did it justice. It's been an absolute labor of love and I'm so glad that it shines through. *hugs*
And that last one.... *g* made me laugh. The expression on its face. *g*
You brought back every delightful second of writing this story with tabaqui and I'm so enamored of your incredible ability to evoke a story through pictures and a few well chosen words. There are no words. Except these and thank you. Which are pitifully inadequate to express my sheer overwhelmed and awed joy at this tribute.
And may we link it to
And - I want an icon of your epilogue!Tim so badly. How greedy does that make me? No - really.
See now? You went and made me gush. I don't gush! Except right now.
Oh, and before i forget, Tim:
And you want to link to 'em??? OF COURSE! That would be amazing, wonderful, fantastic. Feel free, I give them to you guys, do whatever you like with them (they'll always be hosted through my lj, so don't worry about hosting)
so i'm stuttering into incoherency (way past my bedtime) but YAYAY! I'm sort of not so sorry I made you gush? :D it wasn't totally intentional, promise... like I said to Tabaqui, I didn't get the chance to tell you both while you were writing how much I adore NMS&L, so now maybe you get an inkling? *grin*
